Last night we had a combined activity with the Young Men and Young Women of our Ward to compete in a Pinewood Derby. All the youth and their leaders were encouraged to make a Pinewood Derby car to race. Heidi and I decided that we definitely needed to put in a good showing for this event, so we worked diligently on our cars!

Of course, Eric completed the real magic of our cars. We each designed our own cars, then he cut them both out, adjusted the weights, and fine-tuned the wheels. He really has it down to a science now! Heidi and I enjoyed being the design-masters, though!
Heidi's car was dubbed "Clifford." He ran some incredible races, not losing a single one! She ended up winning first overall, and was awarded the "Most Imaginative!"
My hot little number didn't do so bad either! She only lost one race, when she was pitted against Heidi's Clifford! Hot Mamma won third place overall, and was awarded the "Best Paint Job!"
We had so much fun doing this activity! Thanks to Eric for helping us sweep up the trophies!
